The Pollock-Krasner Foundation announced today that it has awarded $3.17 million to 111 artists and twelve organizations for its 2018–19 grant cycle. This year’s grantees hail from eighteen states, Puerto Rico, and seventeen countries. Founded in 1985, the organization launched its grant program in order to provide critical support to artists around the globe by giving them financial support to create new works, prepare for exhibitions, and cover living expenses.

“At the core of the Pollock-Krasner Foundation’s mission is fostering the work and development of artists, and our 2018–19 grant and award recipients highlight the impact we can have due to Lee Krasner’s legacy,” said Ronald D. Spencer, the foundation’s chairman and CEO. “In addition, through our support of institutions such as the Barbican Centre and their upcoming Lee Krasner retrospective and catalogue, and the Katonah Museum of Art’s exhibition of the work of Krasner and other women artists who participated in the groundbreaking Ninth Street Show, we are continuing to advance much-needed scholarship.”
